We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of team culture, mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or "About the job". Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes a lot of prose about team culture, mission, then description of duties. Also includes requirements: Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required (list). Also Preferred. Also includes Pay: Minimum rate $18.72 hourly. Also benefits: comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, retirement benefits. Also schedule? Not explicit schedule details besides rotating schedule/shifts based on needs, work every weekend, five out of six holidays. That could be schedule info. We can include a Schedule section if there is specific content: "To work every weekend. To work five (5) out of six (6) holidays. To work rotating schedule/shifts based on needs." That's schedule specifics. So we can include Schedule section.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe mission/culture), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education, knowledge, skills, abilities required), Preferred Qualifications (maybe separate or combine), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title. Use
for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for duties we can list each duty as
- . For requirements list each bullet. For benefits list each benefit.
We must not duplicate lines. Ensure we capture all substantive info.

Contacts: All HMH medical personnel and its visitors at assigned hospital campus(es). Might be considered a requirement? Could be part of responsibilities? It's more about who they interact with. Could be included in Responsibilities or a separate section "Contacts". But we only need sections when there is real specific content. Could add a section "Contacts" with that sentence. But maybe better to include under Responsibilities as a bullet: "Interacts with all HMH medical personnel and visitors at assigned hospital campus(es)". However the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can add that as a duty.
Pay: Minimum rate of $18.72 Hourly. Also includes explanation about pay equity etc. We should preserve the substantive info: The posted rate of pay is a reasonable good faith estimate of the minimum base pay for this role at the time of posting in accordance with the New Jersey Pay Transparency Act and does not reflect the full value of our market-competitive total rewards package. The starting rate of pay is provided for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee of a specific offer. Posted hourly rates may be stated as an annual salary in the offer and posted annual salaries may be stated as an hourly rate in the offer, depending on the level and nature of the job duties and credentials of the candidate. The base compensation determined at the time of the offer may be different than the posted rate of pay based on a number of non-discriminatory factors, including but not limited to Labor Market Data Compensation is benchmarked against market data to ensure competitiveness. Experience Years of relevant work experience. Education and Certifications Level of education attained, including specialized certifications, credentials, completed apprenticeship programs or advanced training. Skills Demonstrated proficiency in relevant skills and competencies. Geographic Location Cost of living and market rates for the specific location. Internal Equity Compensation is determined in a manner consistent with compensation ranges for similar roles within the organization.

Some jobs may also be eligible for performance-based incentives, bonuses, or commissions not reflected in the starting rate. Certain positions may also be eligible for shift differentials for work performed on evening, night, or weekend shifts. In addition to our compensation for full-time and part-time (20+ hours/week) job positions, HMH offers a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits.
We need to include Pay section with the minimum rate and maybe the explanation? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation and Benefits" section? But they said use headings like Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We can still have separate sections if they have substantive content. Pay section: we have the minimum rate and the explanation about pay transparency. That's substantive. Benefits section: we have comprehensive benefits package list. Schedule section: we have weekend, holidays, rotating schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
